REC33A USER’S GUIDE 8 8 Welcome to the Dashboard The Dashboard will provide you with the current status of the Range Extender. Click SCAN to find an available network to extend. The diagram on this page displays the terms used to describe: 1) The network you are trying to extend (Home Network). 2) The network that is rebroadcasted and extended (Extended Network). Study this diagram carefully as the terms used in the following instructions will refer to these names.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 9 9 Scan for a Wireless Network The Scan result will list all available 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless networks detected by the Range Extender – including each network name (SSID), the operating channel, the type of security and the signal strength. If you are extending a dual band router, you will need to select the SSID of your 2.4GHz network and the SSID of your 5.0GHz network. The signal strength indicates the wireless connection between that network and the Range Extender. It is important to choose networks that are greater than 70%. A wireless network with a signal strength of less than 70% may create a poor connection which results in slower throughput and frequent dropped connections. If you fail to find any wireless networks, or your signal strength is below 70%, try moving the Range Extender closer to the wireless network that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again. Once you have selected your wireless network(s), click Next to continue. If you are only connecting to one network, simply select that 2.4 or 5.0GHz network and click Next to continue.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 10 10 Connecting to a Secure Network If the wireless network(s) you are trying to repeat has wireless security enabled, you will be prompted to enter a security key. If you are repeating a dual band router, you will need to enter the security key for both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz network. If either network does not have security, leave the field blank. After you have entered the security key(s), click Next to continue. If you do not know the key to the network you are trying to repeat, then click Back and select another network.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 11 11 Extended Network Settings (SSID and Security) The default SSID of the Range Extender is “Amped_REC33A_2.4” and “Amped_REC33A_5.0”. If you choose to "Clone" the settings from your Home Network, the wizard will copy the SSID and security key of your Home Network. The SSID of the Extended Network will have a "_RE" at the end of its name. For example: Home_Network_RE. You can also manually enter a new network ID and security key. The new security key must be at least 8 characters long. Click Next to apply the settings.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 12 12 Connection Check DO NOT LEAVE OR REFRESH THIS PAGE. Allow the countdown to complete and the Wizard will automatically redirect you to the next step.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 13 13 Connect to the new Extended Network During the countdown process, the Range Extender will reboot and disconnect the Wi-Fi connection. At this point, you will need to reconnect your PC or tablet to the new Extended Network. Follow the instructions on the screen to connect to the Extended Network. Once you have connected, click the check box to confirm. The Next button will appear allowing you to complete the setup process. If there are problems with your configuration, the Wizard will inform you to rescan for a network to extend. If there are no problems, you will see the Setup Summary on the following page.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 14 14 Setup Summary Congratulations, the Range Extender is now successfully configured. Your settings are now saved. Print the Setup Summary details and save it for future reference. If you have any wired devices that you would like to attach to the Range Extender, you may do so now. If you haven’t already positioned your Range Extender in an optimal location, you may do so. All Range Extender settings are saved and can be safely powered off for relocation. Use the Signal Strength LED to assist you in finding the optimal installation location. (See the following page for details.) Enjoy your extended network!
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 15 15 Finding an Optimal Placement Location (Signal Strength LED) The Range Extender is equipped with a Signal Strength LED on top of the device to help you find the most optimal location for the Extender. It may take 1-3 minutes for the LED to register and display after plugging the Extender into a wall outlet. After setup, the LED can be your guide when repositioning the Extender to a better location (if needed). We recommend a signal strength of 70% or greater from the Router. If the Signal Strength LED is green, your Range Extender is placed in an optimal location.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 16 16 Wired Port Routing The Setup Wizard automatically selects the Home Network (2.4GHz or 5.0GHz) your wired devices will be routed through to connect to the Internet. If you wish to change this setting you may do so from the web menu by accessing Network Settings > Wired Port Routing.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 17 17 If the Home/Office Network connection fails try the following… The failed connection page will provide you with information on why the connection failed. Read the instructions carefully and retry your connection. The tips below will help to solve common issues: a. Check to make sure your Home Network security settings are correct. b. On the SCAN page, check that your Home Network is showing a signal of 70% or greater. If not, move the Range Extender closer to your Home Network router and try again. If you are connecting to a dual band router, ensure that both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz networks show a signal strength of 70% or greater. c. Check that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled. d. Try changing the channel of the Home Network router to a higher channel number and run the Setup Wizard again. e. Check the internet connection on your Home Network wireless router. Connect directly to your router and attempt to access the web. If this fails, the problem is with your internet connection. Contact your broadband provider to fix this issue first before configuring the Range Extender. f. Try to reboot (unplug the power from the Range Extender and plug it back in) the Range Extender and check to see if the connection is established (some networks may be very slow and take longer than the allotted time for the Range Extender to successfully connect).

Default Gateway: The access point to another network, normally the Range Extender or your router. DHCP: The Range Extender includes a feature to help manage the IP addresses within your Extended network and with your Home Network automatically. When connected to a Home Network, the Range Extender will obtain an IP address from your Home Network’s router and act as a DHCP Client. However, when there is no connection available, the Range Extender will act as a DHCP Server. You may also manually control the IP settings of the Range Extender by choosing Client, Server or Disabled from the DHCP drop down menu. This is only for advanced users.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 40 40 DHCP Client Range: The range of IP addresses the Range Extender’s DHCP server will assign to users and devices connecting to the Range Extender. Static DHCP: You may set a static IP address within your DHCP network. The Range Extender will track the device via its MAC address and assign it a pre-defined IP address each time the device logs into the network. Obtain IP settings from the Home router or manually enter your IP settings. Auto-Load Menu (Auto-DNS): When the Range Extender loses connection to your Home Network it will automatically redirect your web browser to the web menu. To turn this feature off, you can disable Auto-DNS. Note: Disabling Auto-DNS will require that you access the web menu using the IP address of this device. It is recommended that you note your IP address before changing this mode. If you are no longer able to access the web menu, you will need to perform a hardware reset. Domain Name: The Domain Name allows you to change the URL which is used to access the Setup Menu for the Range Extender. For example, entering http://setup.ampedwireless.com into your web browser while connected to the Range Extender, will guide you to the Web menu for the Range Extender. By changing the Domain Name, you will change the URL entered to access the Web menu.

REC33A USER’S GUIDE 81 81 Dispute Resolution / Arbitration This section describes how you agree to resolve any disputes with Amped Wireless regarding these Terms of Use or your purchase of any product from Amped Wireless and your use of that product. You and Amped Wireless agree to the following resolution process. To begin with, you agree that any claim that you might have against us regarding these Terms of Use or your purchase of any Amped Wireless product or use of that product must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of our agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or part of this agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to decide the arbitrability of any claim or dispute between you and Amped Wireless. Because we prefer to resolve our issues with you directly, you agree to arbitrate with Amped Wireless only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 82 82 It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator rules against Amped Wireless, in addition to accepting whatever responsibility is ordered by the arbitrator, we will reimburse your reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. It's important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. To help us do that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived. Unless you and Amped Wireless agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county where you reside. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. If your claim against Amped Wireless is for less than $10,000, Amped Wireless will pay all arbitration fees. If your claim against Amped Wireless is for $10,000 or more, you are responsible for paying your own portion of the fees set forth in the AAA’s fee schedule for consumer disputes, and Amped Wireless will pay all remaining arbitration fees. If you believe you cannot afford the AAA’s fee, you may apply to the AAA for a waiver.
REC33A USER’S GUIDE 83 83 As an exception to this arbitration agreement, Amped Wireless is happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis. We would hope that our customer service agents could resolve any disputes you have with us without resorting to arbitration. Before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with Amped Wireless for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by mail to us at: 13089 Peyton Dr. #C307, Chino Hills, CA 91709; Attn: Legal Department. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16).
